The Heart of Our Community

Education today is
made up of an ever changing and ever increasing number of challenges.The educational environment here at KCS
is no different than in other areas of New York State or the United States for
that matter.As with all
challenges in life, we will focus on what we can control and make educated
responses to the challenges facing us here at KCS.We will remain focused on our number one priority, which is
providing a quality education and offering excellent educational experiences.

Keene Central
School has a Superintendent/HS Principal and a K-8 Principal/CSE Chairperson
leading our district.We are
ever mindful of the financial challenges facing the district and we are
balancing those financial concerns with maintaining and improving the quality
of the education we offer students.As we head into this school year, one of our main focuses will be to
continue working on meeting the new standards and preparing our students for
the real world they will enter when they graduate from KCS.Working together, using data, and
offering professional development are essential components in meeting the new,
higher standards.

While moving forward,
we are committed to remembering where we come from and where have been.The opportunities we have here at KCS
make us unique in the world of public education.We will strive to continue our balanced offerings in
academics, the arts, and athletics. Education is a challenging environment and we continue to
experience educational and economic challenges.Working together through sharing ideas, support and effective
communication will help us ensure our continued progress.

We thank our
community for all of your continued support and involvement.It truly takes a community to raise a
child and our community exemplifies that.Now, more than ever, we need to work together as we always have here in
Keene. We look forward to continuing this wonderful relationship to benefit of
both our students and our community.

Thank You.
